settler.
The crop man crops
his way through
life,
The dry cleaner
cannot subdue the
muck;
The well heeled
can’t afford inner
balm with...

Death ...

Death is NOT the enemy
It is but the longest part of eternity
The essential part that gives life its preciousness and value
It is the body's rest, the spirit's release, and the soul's freedom
When we again...

Everybody was horrified of Paul's scruffy looks
with dirt and mud smeared all over his wrinkled face,
and his long nose with dark spots on its tip;
and a grave digger matched that image,
but he was the nicest...

I see streams afar off,
Yet it seems closer than I would beckon.
I sense pains far away in a long haul,
In the fullness of time, its nigh the door of my heart.
It's choking hard, I feel...

there …

is an Other …
an oppressive weight that balances -
entropy demands it

solemnly swear hereafter, to take you in,
in sufficient quantities to ensure 
continuation of the flesh's animation.

I additionally, do accede my heretofore,
essential need of your estimable service, 
and express my...

It chauffeurs the car,
It paddles the canoe,
It pilots the plane,
It steers the ship.

Sometimes it’s a restless wanderer,
Sometimes it’s a calm flowing stream,
Sometimes it’s a raging sea,
Sometimes it’s a howling wind.

Nothing is more estimable,
Nothing is deeply...
